Thought everyone would like to know that the highly acclaimed directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris recently completed their latest Red Hot Chili Peppers music video which they shot entirely on two Panasonic HVX200s.

The camera was linked to a 1200 deck which recorded the footage to tape. The system worked flawlessly!

720 30P

Look for it soon!
 
Very awesome! RHCP using the HVX200, sweet! Everybody keep an eye out and let the rest of us know if you hear of a broadcast time....

Hi,

Are you referring to Dani California? I just watched the making of that video and I'm pretty sure that they weren't using HVX200's. Either that or I got shafted on my order because my HVX is about 1/10th the size of theirs!

Thats the vid where they take of all the 'ages' of music? It was shot on film.
 
RHCP's are also the poster boys on Avids Media composer site! They appear in all the source/record windows.
 
Ive only read that the Documentary was shot on the HVX200, not the music video itself. I havent seen the making of... but im sure the big cams werent HVX200's. But either way its still an impressive shoot that shows the versatility of the HVX200.

Plus thats one of the best music videos ive seen in years. Misfits part is universally known as the best in my circle of friends. The whole album kicks major ass, so hopefully after RCHP see the full doc from the HVX, maybe they will shoot the next video strictly on the an HVX200 setup.

:)
 
They jumped the shark around 1993 and I tuned out... as far as their new music. They still put on a great concert though.. and I'd like to watch out the doc...

Anyone have a date on broadcast?

Hi everyone,

Just to clarify, I'm am referring to an upcomming RHCP video that was shot entirely on two HVX200 cameras. Not Dani California...

My bro is a Commish. of Video Prod at WB and used to work with Dayton/Faris a lot @ Virgin on all the Pumpkins stuff. Indeed this is 100% true about the Chili Peppers new vid, and it's VERY VINDICATING and cool for us fellow AG-HVX200 afficionados!!! I just asked my brother why they didn't shoot in 1080. Answer pending....
 
Stupid question....

Why 30p and not 23.98?

Also, were the camera and deck linked through firewire? I didn't know the 1200 did live record through fw.

I have shot directly to the 1200A deck and it looks great. The XLH1 looks AMAZING straight to the deck as well. Of course, with the daughter cards that deck is upwards of $30K!
